The gas bubbles contain normal air which you find on Earth.

Any gas released in the vacuum of space would quickly expand until all the individual atoms were so far from each other that they would orbit independently as if they were extremely small meteoroids. Some may get caught in the gravity of Earth and pulled down to become part of the atmosphere while others could end up on other planets or just orbit endlessly on their own in space.

Gas bubbles are not defined. I presume you refer to bubbles containing gas.
As they were introduced to an ever-decreasing environmental air pressure, the bubbles expand until the surface tension of the bubble's material is exceeded, which would burst the bubbles.
They would become droplets, or sets of smaller droplets, and depending on the material, would either boil off as the temperature decreased and the vacuum increased, or solidify.

If you are asking what would happen to the vacuum or space; not much, a little more mass would be injected into either.

If they were blown into a vacuum, it would no longer be a vacuum since gas would be present.

the gas would dissipate into individual molecules, into the vacuum of space, since there is no mass for gravity to hold it together.
